C.4.1 IBM Optim Development Studio<br />

Appendix C – Up and Running with DB2 Express-C 335<br />

Optim Development Studio is the primary tool to use for database administration, and<br />

database development with DB2. Optim Development Studio is free. It can run on Linux<br />

and Windows, and is part of the IBM Integrated Data Management portfolio of products.<br />

The development of Optim Development Studio follows a schedule which is not tied to the<br />

releases of DB2; however the products do coordinate their releases as often as possible.<br />

Figure B.4 shows the Optim Development Studio interface.<br />

If you are familiar with Eclipse, you will note that Optim Development Studio is based on<br />

Eclipse. Typically, with Optim Development Studio, you will work within the Data<br />

perspective window (highlighted in the figure at the top right corner). You can also switch to<br />

the Java perspective, if you are developing a Java program. There are two views<br />

highlighted in the figure:<br />

• Data Project Explorer (top left)<br />

• Data Source Explorer (bottom left)<br />

The Data Project Explorer view is used by database developers to work with SQL scripts,<br />

XQuery, stored procedures, UDFs, and Data Web services.
